What we do on tarmac resurfacing

Tarmac resurfacing, or an overlay, means cleaning and repairing an existing drive, spraying a bond coat and laying a new surface course of about 25–40 mm on top, without digging out the base.

  • Survey of the existing base: sinking, rutting, loose edges and drainage
  • Plane or cut back at thresholds, kerbs and covers so levels still work
  • Weed treatment and a clean surface
  • Bond (tack) coat sprayed to glue the new layer to the old
  • Edges sealed and joints to existing surfaces cut neatly
